A comiunnlcation vu nrnrrt hn Mr rtnmm
from Mr. Derbyshire, relative to a newspaper
statement that certain parties were endeavoring to
cause a repeal of the act providing for the widen
ing of l)elawnre avenue. Mr. Derbyshire earn
estly, and somewhat indignantly, denies the truth
of the statement.
A resolution nuking the State legislature not to
repeal the act for the widening of Delaware avenue
wan presented hy Mr. King.
Mr. King said that he was constrained to oftr
this resolution because certain individuals who
so tiered from the proposed improvement were en
deavoring to bring about a repeal of the law in
question. The Oirurd estate has paid a large sum
in damages to such persons, and he desired the
prompt adoption of this most important resolu
tion. Colonel Page very pointedly characterized the
course taken by privnte parties who oppose a great
public Improvement because It does not benefit
them. Mr. i'uee ndvocated the pannage of some
general law providing a remedy for this evil
Upon every topic coi nected with the streets ol the
city the speaker thought the only approach to the
Legislature should be through the Councils of the
city.
The resolution paused unanimously.

neer of the Wuter Works, naming his appointees,

disposal of the lot of ground upon which now
titaods Moyamensing Hall, reported an ordinance
providing for the sale of the materials of the build
ing and the ground upon which it stands. .Re
ferred. The ordinance requires the Commissioner of
City Property, Mr. Charles Dixie, to advertise for

to the highest bidder.
A resolution that a joint committee of five be
appointed from each Chamber to make arrange
ments to entertain a delegation of Huston Council

J'hilaUrlphia, March 14. To the Select and Com
mon Councils of the city of Philadelphia Gen
tlemen: Your Committee on Law, to whom was
referred the annexed resolution olfered by Mr.
Evans, entitled "Resolution of Instruction to the
City Solicitor and Chief Engineer of the Water
Department;" and also the annexed resolution
ottered by Mr. Harper, entitled "Kesolntion of In
struction to the City Solicitor," beg leave to re
port that they have considered the subject matter
of the resolutions, and report back the one ottered
by Mr. Evans with a lavorable recommendation,
and ask its adoption. Agreed to.
An ordinance to pay JUO.) to Nathan Nathans
for injury done to his property by the opening of
Broad street, in the vicinity of Columbia avenue,
was agreed to.
A resolution instructing the Committee on Police
to report an ordinauce providing for the erection

annum.
This was agreed to.
Mr. Page rose to a question of privilege rela'lve
to a reply of Chief Engineer of the Gas Works
Manuel, made under the authority of City Coun
cils. The Chair declared his remarks out of order.
Mr. Page appealed.
The decision of the Chair was sustained by a
vote of 10 to 6.
A communication was received from the City
Solicitor naming William M. Meredith and Ed
win Olmstead as assistants to his department in a
suit at Washington, in the cane of the heirs of the
Guard Estate to recover the Girard property from
Philadelphia. These gentlemen conducted the suit
previously, when judgment was given in favor of
the city. - The heirs huve carried the case to the
United States Supreme Court. Rep.
Agreed to, without debate.
An ordinance was taken up providing for a
large number of culverts in various parts of the
city.
Mr. Hodgdon, while conceding that many of
these culverts would be very desirable, yet the
Mill creek culvert ought not to be built. It would
cost Jfli5,oou, and the grading of the street some
SOO.lXiu more. The fund on hand for the purpose
was but f17,00(l. This job ought to be postponed
for a few years, at least. Mr. Hodgdon moved to
strike out the Mill creek culvert.
The discussion was protracted for near an hour
by Messrs. Fox, Cattail, King, Van Cleve, Gil
lingbam and Page.
Colonel Page closed the debate by declaring his
resolve to vote for the bill. It was not a question
of locality, but a question of health, and for this
be should support it. i ne miasma arising irom.
this creek ought not to be permitted to exist. It is
not the Twenty. tourth ward alone, 'but the en
tire city is concerned. Into this creek flows a fear
ful amount of tilth. A great hospital, a large rail
road depot, and very many factories are drained
into it. We bad a visitation of cholera last year,
and may have a pestilence again. We cannot stop
to think of our treasury; there is that in the air
that must compel us to vote for this bill. We must
do it because a power that we cannot control de
mands us to do it for our own protection.
Mr. Cattell pledged the faith of the Twenty
fourth ward that if the loan was made it should
not go upon the market.
Mr. Barlow cheerfully sustained the bill.
It passed with unimportant amendments.
A bill to increase the salaries of the Messengers
of Councils to SUMKJ was adopted.
The Chamber then adjourned.
Common Branch. President Marcer in the chair.
Mr. Wm. D. Martin presented a resolution di

be temoved. Teu or ntieen years ago the House of
Refuge was taken from Us former sue and removed
iarther west. Building Improvements crowded It
out. To-day the march of improvement is towards
the section of the city on which stands the prison.
It must soon be removed, and the city should now
purchase a hundred acres of land in the remote part
of the city, or river navigation, where building
materials are cheap, and there ereota house of cor
rection. Then when the prison Is to be removed It
can be placed side by side with the House of Cor.
rectiou, and when the Almshouse Is forced from
its present location it will also go to the same spot.
Mr. Willets said that the question of site Is tie
question of erection. If the Parade Ground should
be devoted to the purpose tben the building will
be erected. If the Parade Ground Is rejected there
will be no house of correction, and the reason is
this: There 1b a large piece ot ground, unoci opted,
valueless, save lor this purpose. The city owns It.
It was provided for the extension of the county
prifon. Manipulation turned It into a Partde
Ground, and now It should revert to Its origin!
purpose. The convicts in Moyamensing can all
labor on the new building, and If the Partde
Ground be chosen the building will at once go for.
ward, but alter the site and there will be no build
ing erected.
Mr. Potter argued In favor of the same views.
Mr. Mersbon declared that the House of Correc
tion would be a pest spot in the Twenty-sixth
ward. The county prison is so already, and the
Houbc ol Correction will render the nuisance ten
fold. He suggested the Almshouse grounds as a
suitable location.
The debate was continued until nearly 6 o'click.
Finally n motion was made to strike out "Pa
rade Ground" trom the amendment.
Mr. J. C. Martin called the previous question
The call was sustained.
The motion to strike out the "Parade Ground"
was ugreed to.
On ngreeing to the title, the Chamber referred
the whole subject to a special committee.
The resolution from Select Council to appoint a
committee to entertain the Boston Couucilmne
was agreed to.
The committee were named Messrs. Hancock
Ray. Billlngton, Wagner and W. D. Martin.
The two latter declined.
Mr. Mittou presented resolutions of sympathy
with the people of Ireland in their brave but un
equal sti uggle with Eugland fur liberties denied
during seveu hundred years.
Mr. Wcgner I move to refer to the Committee
on L:iw.
The motion to refer fell.
The resolutions were agreed to.
Messrs. Palmer and O'Neill were added to the

Decision of tiie Supreme Court Relative to
Mercantile Tax. The following decision
relative to the application of the mercantile
tax law to manufacturers lias been rendered.
The case ws argued in January, and a few
days since Justice Head, of the Supreme Court,
in equity, delivered an opinion, from which
we make the following extract:
The plaintill's allege they are the proprietors
of a tan-yard, where they manufacture hides
into leather, and sell part so manufactured to
shoemakers and others at their tan yard, and
the rest they sell or consign for sale on com
mission to commission leather merchants in
1'hiladelphia and elsewhere, and sell at their
tan-yard their own manufacture exclusively,
and do not keep any store or warehouse away
from said tan-yard. They also allege that
there are many other tanners under like cir
cumstances who are also assessed, and the bill
is formed so as to permit them to come in and
become parties thereto. In form it is a class
bill.
They claim to be not liable to assessment,
by virtue of a proviso of the 11th section of
the act of 22d April, 184U (1'. Laws, p. -188),
and the decision of the Supreme Court in the
Commonwealth vs. Campbell, !) Casey, 380.
This case was decjded prior to the acts of 1802
and lSo'G, which appear to make the Court in
the first case, and the mercantile appraisers in
the second case, which is the one before us,
final arbiters, from whoso decision there is no
appeal to any other tribunal.
In Com. ex rel. Kawle vs. .supervisors ot
Colley Township, 0 Casey, 121, it was said if
the Treasurer attempted to sell land for road
taxes paid to the Supervisors, lie would be
restrained by injunction. In Hughes vs.
Mine, 0 Casey, ZZ1, it was helil that the deci
sion of the Court of Common Pleas, on an
appeal from the County Commissioners, under
the act of the 2(ith of April, 1850, is conclu
sive upon the parties, both as to the assess
ment of their leal estate for the purpose of
taxation, and to the regularity ot the pro
ceedings of the County Commissioners; and it
was also held that a bill lor an injunction to
restrain the collection of the tax could not be
maintained.
In Miller vs. Gorman, 2 Wright, 30!), an
injunction was granted against a supervisor
and collector where no opportunity had been
given to work out the road taxes, which was
a condition precedent to collection by loyal
process.
None of these cases authorize this applica
tion to a court of equity to restrain the collec
tion of all taxes due to the State of one class,
which by the very tribunal to which the State
has entrusted these assessments and collec
tion, and from whose decision there in no
appeal, have decided that these plaintiffs, and
all others in similar cases, have been right
fully ascertained and assessed.
This question lias been so ably discussed
and decided in Macklot vs. The City of Daven
port, 17 Iowa Reports, 37!), by the Supreme
Court of that State, that I think it unneces
sary to repeat the reasons so forcibly given by
that tribunal for denying in this case the
interposition of a court of equity. Injunction
refused.
Celebration- ok the Foster Home. A most
agreeable celebration was held yesterday after
noon at the new building of the Foster Home
Association, Twenty-fourth and Poplar streets.
A largo audience, composed mainly of ladies, i
filled the large corridors, and appeared much
interested in the features of the entertainment.
Thebuilding is of stone, spacious, tastefully
constructed, well planned, well lighted, and
has wide, cheerful halls on every floor. It is
as yet but partially furnished, owing to the
lack of means on the part of this laudable
institution.
The exercises, yesterday, on the occasion
1 of inaugurating th new Home, were opened
with prayer by Rev. Mr. Kuclostnn. Hev.
Thomas G. Allen questioned the children,
superintending their excellent recitation of
Scriptural passages, after which various
bright-faced little ones lispingly recitod
childish pieces. Re.v. Phillips ilrooks de
livered an eloquent address upon the benevo
lent objects of the Foster Home, and earnestly
detailed the works lor good which existed for
it to embrace.
The occasion was of special interest to the
lady managers, permitting thein to liehold
that for which they have so long and ardently
struggled, viz., the erection of a plain, com
fortable, and convenient house, in which
they can prbably shelter one hundred desti
tute children, instead of only sixty, as for
merly. The Home is in debt $10,000, which must be
paid before the 1st of June, or a mortgage to
that amount will have to be made upon the
building. The aid of a generous public is
requested.
Pernio Mbrtinob A pnblic meeting was held
Inst evening in Temperance Hall, Rice street be
low Eighth, under the auspices of the Female
Anti. slavery Society. The hall holds about MU
people, and was well filled.
Mrs. Lucretla Mott presided, Miss Sarah Pugh
Secretary. The annual report congratulates the
society that a bill had passed theSena'e permitting
colored people to ride in passenger cars, and ex
pressing a hope that the House would concur. The
entire jeport was made up or a review of the pro
grese made by the negro in obtaining tho common
privileges of humanliy during the past year.
The balance in the treasury is said the
Treasurer in her report.
The meeting then ad journed.
There was a large meeting of the friends of Ire
lnjid lust night at National Hall, at which resolu
til lis were adopted requesting the President not to
interfere in the present struggle of the Irish to
gain their Independence. Especial stress was laid
hy the various speakers upon the fact that the
Atlantic cable is in English hands, and that no
reliiirce whatever la to be placed in the reports
concerning the uprising of the people in the Eme
rald Isle.
There were present a large number of ladles,
and the oratory was spirited and earnest. The
utmost confidence was expressed by the speakers
that, with fnir play on ihe part of the United
States, Ireland could achieve her liberty. The
propriety ot following the example of the Ala
bama and iShenandouh was very pointedly hinted
at, and the result ot the meeting will be a special
appeal to the President and to Congress to stand
aside and see lair play.
A handsome sum of money was last night added
to the iund raised at the last meeting, of which the
proceedings were duly published in our columns.
The speakers last evening were the same able gen
tlemen who held forth on the former occasion.
Fun-ian Mass Meeting. Last evening the
Fenians held a mass meeting at National Hall,
in Market street, above Twelfth. Tho hall

Horan, and Andrew Wynne, Esquires.
Secretaries Colonel J. P. Dunne, J. Bertrin,
J. K. McDermott, William Donnelly, P. Mur
phy, J. McGittigan, P. McMenamin.
Colonel Kirwan, on taking the chair, stated
that the object of the meeting was to request
the authorities at Washington to grant the
Irish such freedom of action, in the present
struggle for national life, as was granted to the
late Southern Confederacy by the English
Government; also, to receive aid from those
who have to give for the men at present
struggling for national existence.
Speeches were made by Colonel T. P. Fitz
gerald and John O'Uyrne, after which a peti
tion was circulated for signatures to be sent
to Congress.

Assembly providing for an annuity to the

Enoinekk Department,
Yalk OoLLitUK, November IB, U6t,f
I have always recommended the Fabkr polygrade
lead pencils as the only pencils fitted for both orna
uieulul and mathematical drawing; but after a
thorough trial of the Amkkk an Pojlyuhadb Lead
Pkncilm manufactured by the AMERICAN LEAD
PENC1I.CO..N. Y.j 1 find them superior to any pencil
lu use, even to the Fabch or the old Enulihh Cum
Iik iu and lead pencil, being a superior pencil lor
sketching, ornamental and mechanical drawing, ami
all the ordinary uses of a lead pencil.
These pencils are very Uuelv graded and have a very
smooth lead: even tbe soltest pencils hold tha point
well; Ihey are all thai can be desired In a pencil, It
gives me great pleasure to be able to assure Ameri
cans that they will no longer be compelled to depend
upon Germany or auy other foreign market for
pencils. . LOUDi RAIL,
